Employer Description:

Woodlands Day Nursery is a small and homely 48 place setting. Our dedicated and experienced team provide a safe, secure and happy environment which enables the children to grow in confidence, in order to develop the ability to take risks and become successful and independent learners. 

Having had vast amounts of experience of the implementation of the many different tracking and learning approaches, we believe that children make the best progress when they learn through their own interests. This is why at The Woodlands we use an 'in the moment' teaching and learning strategy to stimulate and enhance children's learning and ultimately progress. 

We do this by close observations of children and by building positive relationships between the child and key worker, therefore giving the key worker the opportunity to provide personalised learning opportunities.
